Is this considered alimoy

[leepchen]

I got divorced Sept 11 1999. In the divorce degree it states EXACTLY as follows....the husband arees to execute a quitclaim deed in favor of the wife transferring all his right , title and interest in the marital residence to wife. Husband and Wife shall share in the payment of the mortgage payment as follows: The husband shall pay $600.00 towards the mortgage each month for three (3) years; however if at anytime wife has a roommate residing at the marital residence then husband shall pay $300.00 towards the mortgage for a period of no longer then three years from the date of this agreement. My question is....Is this considered alimony? Can my ex-husband right this off as alimony and do I have to claim this as extra income (alimony)? The house is in my name, hes just paying me this and nothing else. Please advise if this is considered alimony in the state of Florida. thanks
